If you want software from a different repository, it is as simple as
enabling the repository and getting a list of applications. It is
time for you to do some reading up on yum. It is allot different and
nicer than the old download, install what will install, download the
dependencies and install what will install ......
So, that's why I was looking for update instructions for humans to read. I know I'll just love yum once I get to the net... I updated KDE to use the new network manager and some pppoe deamons that I found. Uptodate used to make me crazy. I do love Linux though, and have great plans for using it.
Thanx for any considerations, Ric
